The overall aim of this interdisciplinary project is to enhance our understanding of the complex human-environment interactions in sanitation systems and their sustainability outcomes in rapidly developing countries. This can contribute knowledge and best practices to improve human well-being, which is the overall focus of the Sustainable Development agenda.
This project developed a DEAS focused prototype model for Mobility-as-a-Service (MaaS) integration in Greater Manchester (GM).
The aim of this project is to further develop innovative technologies for connected autonomous vehicles to accelerate adoption of driverless vehicles and allied technologies in the UK. This project will introduce innovative technologies to operate connected autonomous cars in a platoon formation from Stockport directly to the arrivals terminal at Manchester Airport.
CityVerve was a £10m investment from The Department for Culture, Media and Sport (DCMS) to demonstrate the Internet of Things in Manchester City Region. The CityVerve Project aims to test better services using the Internet of Things (IoT) technology. The Internet of Things adds sensors and data analysis to urban equipment like streetlamps, vehicles or home heating equipment. These ‘smart’ improvements will help deliver more personal, efficient and flexible products and services.
2012-25From Old Moat to the Ageing in Place PathfinderSpatial action planning The Ageing in Place…
This project explored the use of data analysis and representation to understand the spatial implications of structural discrimination across Stockport Borough.
The Ageing in Place Pathfinder is a complex whole system public health intervention focussed on the role of place across the life course with an emphasis on later life.
The rightsizing project responded to the observation that a potentially very large number of older people were living in unsuitable accommodation for later life or had an expressed preference to move home but very few (<4%) every year did actually move house and of those less than half moved into smaller properties i.e it is incorrect to assume that older people seek to ‘downsize’.
The Manchester Age Friendly Neighbourhoods project explored the systematic implementation of the Old Moat Age Friendly Neighbourhood prototype for co-produced place-based urban planning for health across the life course through creating 5 resident led multi-stakeholder age friendly partnerships in deprived wards across Manchester City.
This project was commissioned by Manchester City Council to explore how the Manchester city centre operates as a place to live for older people, investigating what ‘neighbourhoods’ exist and what they are like.
